Silver Creek Township schedules 134th culvert replacement, okays beaver trapping and possible grading truck hire
Summary
The board noted a 134th culvert replacement slated for late Oct./early Nov., confirmed Meridian Ave culvert work is complete and approved up to $750 for beaver trapping and up to $1,000 to hire a water truck for grading if needed.
The maintenance report noted a 134th culvert replacement scheduled for the end of October or beginning of November; the board plans to submit the project costs to the county to draw remaining grant funds. The Meridian Avenue culvert project — completed by Monticello Township — was reported finished and the road is to re-open the following day.
Supervisor Ryan Nelson moved to approve up to $750 for beaver trapping; the motion was seconded by Vice Chairman Brandon Geyen and carried 4-0. Nelson also moved to authorize up to $1,000 to hire a water truck for grading if needed, again seconded by Geyen and carried 4-0. Those authorizations were described as contingency spending to support near-term maintenance operations.
Next steps recorded in the minutes: the township will schedule the 134th culvert replacement and attempt to recover costs through the county grant; any deployment of the water truck or beaver trapping contract will proceed within the approved limits.
